Crafting in September-Project Curtains Done

I finished the last set of curtains last night. Side door done.

The stiff seersucker fabric makes the curtains hang very nice and straight. As I was sewing the hem, I had a momentary panic that I'd forgotten which way the fabric was to go and the stripes wouldn't be the same. Once I hung them from my rod, that panic disappeared. I did have to cut a foot off the panels for the hem. My inability to do math properly strikes again. Oh well. Carole says she loves them. I can't wait to see them hanging on her side door.

So, what's next? Well, while roaming the JoAnn Fabrics in search of items for another craft project, which I can't really show until after the gift is given, I stumbled upon a Star Wars fabric they didn't have at the JoAnn closest to me.

Is this not awesome!? I have to finish the above named project and then I can work with this. Oh do I have plans for something. Stay tuned.

About Me

It's taken awhile to realize I'm truly in the middle of the ages. I'm a sometimes grown-up but if you want to walk in the rain without an umbrella, I'm all in. I like cats and reading; writing and cooking; chocolate and playing World of Warcraft; hot tea and hot cocoa; the Iowa Hawkeyes and jazz; counted cross-stitch and Scotland; just sitting on the deck doing nothing but sitting and visiting museums to expand my knowledge; watching the sun come up and standing in a cornfield at night trying to find the constellations. Thanks to rheumatoid arthritis, I'm walking a road I didn't expect to be walking, but I'm trying to make that route fun. You'll find I comment on all sorts of things. Thanks for stopping by.
